There are some places where many tourists head to in Japan, and Gonpachi is definitely one of them. Because the ambiance of the restaurant retains great historical ambiance from the time when it was still a warehouse-like Japanese building.
The restaurant was also chosen as a venue for Izakaya meeting with President Bush and prime minister of Japan, even celebrities from overseas.
As the restaurant has so many tourists from overseas, they are ready with Halal course. Let’s see what they offer in this course!
What is Gonachi’s specialty? Is there any Halal menu?
Gonpachi is basically serving as Izakaya. Izakaya is Japanese style pub with a la carte menu with various alcoholic drinks. Yes, the restaurant is offering alcohol, so the restaurant itself is not a very Muslim-friendly place.
To meet the palate of the customers from all over the world, the food is more like westernized Japanese dish. Most of the dishes are prepared based on traditional Japanese food, however, using seasoning or sauce from other countries, they have created something new for customers.
Not authentic Japanese cuisine, with some essence from Western flavor.
Unfortunately, this a la carte menu is not made according to Halal standard, so you have to reserve a Halal menu in advance.
